Are you passionate about cars and driven by building genuine relationships with people?

If so, you could be the perfect fit for our dedicated team at the Waylands Volvo showroom in Reading.

Waylands is a highly successful, rapidly expanding motor retail group. With 15 representation points spanning the Thames Valley, the M4 corridor, and South Wales, we are looking for a talented individual to help us drive our ongoing success.

What You Will Be Doing

As a Sales Executive, you will be the face of our showroom, guiding customers through the exciting journey of purchasing their next vehicle. Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Driving Sales: Confidently selling our incredible range of new and used vehicles while helping us achieve dealership targets.

  • Delivering Excellence: Supporting customers to find the right car for their lifestyle through consultative, low\-pressure selling.

  • Customer Engagement: Creating and sending customized video presentations to highlight vehicle features and benefits for prospective buyers.

  • Relationship Management: Maintaining detailed customer records, proactively prospecting your database, and staying in touch with clients to manage their ongoing aftersales needs.

  • Seamless Administration: Communicating effectively with colleagues and accurately completing paperwork to ensure delivery deadlines and customer promises are met.

  • Maintaining Standards: Ensuring the showroom is impeccably presented at all times and ensuring all sales strictly comply with Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) legislation.
Who We Are Looking For

We want someone who brings energy, organization, and a personal touch to the showroom floor. Our ideal candidate is:

  • Experienced: You must have previous experience selling cars.

  • Enthusiastic: You are genuinely excited to connect with every customer who walks through the door, calls, or emails.

  • Detail\-Oriented: You know that the little things matter—like remembering a customer's dog's name—and you pride yourself on getting things right the first time.

  • Organized: You possess excellent time management skills and a high level of administrative accuracy.

  • Professional: You have a friendly, welcoming demeanor, backed by strong communication and influencing skills.

  • Qualified: You hold a full UK driving licence (held for a minimum of one year) and are a competent driver.

What We Offer in Return

We believe in rewarding hard work. Your compensation and benefits package includes


  • Earning Potential: £21,000 basic salary plus an excellent commission and bonus structure (On\-Target Earnings: £51,000\).

  • Company Car: Drive what you sell.

  • Schedule: A 5\.5\-day working week (45 hours) on a set rota that includes weekends.

  • Time Off: 31 days of annual leave (including Bank Holidays, some of which you will be required to work).

  • Wellbeing: Access to a comprehensive benefits platform and an employee support programme.

  • Discounts: Generous staff rates on vehicle parts and servicing.

  • Security: A contributory pension scheme (for eligible staff) and 3x salary life insurance.

  • Growth: Dedicated opportunities for ongoing training and career progression.
